About Lion's Automotive

Hello, my name is Victor Leon. I am the owner of Lion’s Automotive. I’ve been involved with automotive repair since 1978 as a freshman in high school. After high school I moved on to LA Trade Tech and graduated with a degree in Automotive Technology. From LA Trade Tech I worked for a small independent garage (Rick’s Automotive in Hollywood) then moved on to General Motors, Cadillac, and Ford Dealerships. I continued my education through factory training in both Domestic and Foreign auto repair and maintenance. Finally I’ve acquired certification as an ASE Master Technician in all makes and models.

February 1, 1990— A Dream Come True!

With the help and encouragement of good friends I took a chance and ventured out on my own and thus the grand opening of Lion’s Automotive. Some of you may remember it as Lion’s Den Automotive (previous name). We started with one 500 sq. foot bay, one floor jack, and one tool box. Where we lacked in equipment we made up in ambition. Now Lion’s Automotive is a sprawling 4000 sq. ft., 4 technicians, AAA approved shop with an excellent customer satisfaction index score. We are also part of A/C Delco and Motorcraft education programs.  These programs provide us the opportunity to further our training. Our technicians continue to further their training on both domestic and import vehicles. This year we will start our training on the latest hybrids--the future is now!! This enables us to stay updated regarding your vehicle’s needs.  This alone pushes us to use technology that has all current diagnostic equipment available.

Oh, one other fun thing! Have you heard of Bogies Corner on the channel 2 News? They recruited AAA to find 5 of the best master technicians in the Los Angeles area to answer phone calls from viewers. I had the privilege to be one of the 5 master technicians. What a blast! My debut on television, what could possibly be next?
